surrounded by the high silence, 2020, charcoal and ink on paper, 150 x 1000 cm
Working from thoughts and memories, I began to interpret identities and groupings of people through large scale drawings. The forms and thoughts merge and react as the drawing unravels, implying a rambling narrative reminiscent of memories.

My work is a process of recollection. The forms become responsive to the materials and process of making. The imagined and unconscious thoughts are realised as drawn images, appearing fluid and illusive as memories merge, the drawn marks becoming their language. A sense of community emerges.

The paintings evolve from drawings becoming a way to reimagine memories. The energy and movements of the marks and brush strokes are reflections and distortions of the drawn forms. My work experiments with the balance of relationships between materials, process and time.

Through painting, the immediate charcoal marks can be reimagined through the colour and textures of paint, exploring the emotional memory further. The tension between my private memories and viewers’ projected thoughts onto the work becomes relevant. I’ve started to experiment with their presence in my works and how the emotions they evoke can be a collective experience of memory and recognition.
